We’re ending the working week on a wet and rainy note, but it’s now the weekend.

And with so many exciting things to do and see – it will be hard to know where to start. So we’ll try and help you out.

Nottingham is an extraordinarily creative city with great potential – most of us know it – but we need to get the message out there to prove it. There is no better way to do so, than Creative October – now well and truly under way.

Supported by Nottingham City Council, the month-long celebration covers a whole range of creative talents the city has to offer – and it’s worth giving you a reminder of just some of the events taking place during the first week.

If you want to put your own creative talents to the test, look out for events that are part of THE BIG DRAW. The Campaign is taking place in 20 countries around the world. It aims to encourage and connect visitors to museums and gallery collections, urban and rural spaces – and the wider community – through the medium of drawing in new and enjoyable ways. A very worthwhile mission – so look out for opportunities to join in.

Presenting a nostalgic reflection on memory and history, ‘UNNAMED’ is the new Exhibition by Yelena Popova, at the Lakeside Arts Centre, Wallner Gallery. (See picture).

A Russian born artist now living and working in Nottingham, Yelena is currently a second year student at the Royal College of Art (MA Painting).

Open until Sunday 7th November, opening times can be found on the website.

A reminder that Monday 4th October is Wine Tasting Night at Antenna. See the Antenna website for further details.
